Homeworld 2, the famous Bentusi scene - now in 16K (16384x10240).


The camera movement is a bit jerky, it is difficult to move the mouse smooth if you are recording with less than 1 fps. Playing without recording is at 20 to 30 fps on a GTX Titan.
They were made with the Hires Texture package available from the net. LOD hack be me, so always the highest model and texture is used, even on small rubble. View distance hack by me too, you can see even the smallest rubble no matter how far away you are.
Use Mplayer-Home-Cinema to play those videos. Depending on the GFX-card and OS and driver combo it can play even the 16k version, but on quite some machines it can play "only" up to 8K.

If you think it is a simple encoding task, take a look at this screen shot. Yep, it ate 123 GB RAM during encoding. Keep in mind: Homeworld 2 is not visually complex, other 15k or 16k videos may take a lot more. Luckily I have access to such a machine (I don't own that one).

Some closeups to show what 16K, LOD Hack, and unlimited view distance means.
